We’ve been patiently waiting to hear the good news which was finally announced yesterday by both the Governor and Mayor. Effective tomorrow, May 1, golf courses can open for modified play that adheres to a new set of PGA guidelines for social distancing and use.

Tennis
Soon…soon….hopefully soon! Just a little more patience, and stay tuned.
In the meantime, the USTA has put out a FANTASTIC portal of at-home tennis videos that are specifically geared towards kids. Here’s an example of “Lobster Trap,” a simple drill you can do with two racquets and any sort of barrier, like a ladder.
To see the full list of videos and drills visit the Net Generation webpage.
Fitness
More good news! Tommye Jones—one of our favorite yoga instructors—will be offering virtual yoga classes for the month of May on Fridays at 4:30pm. Visit our Virtual Fitness Calendar for info on how to sign up.
Or, if you’re short on time and don’t have an hour to make it to a class, the New York Times reports that micro-workouts as short as 4 seconds can lead to substantial improvements in fitness! (Yes, really—check it out).
Haircuts!

My Maui Country Club At Home
Huge shoutout to Jordy Sharpe who’s been holding nothing back on his indoor tennis! It’s one thing to practice volleys against the wall, and it’s another to repeatedly rip full length groundstrokes and consistently hit your target.
See for yourself in the video below—hope to see you on the courts soon!
